Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Porque Ainda Te Amo by Mickael Carreira from Portuguese to English.

Verse 1

I'd be lying if I said life goes on the same without you

That I don't miss you and that at last I've even forgotten you

Saying it doesn't kill me to see you already with another

Saying your absence doesn't drive me crazy

Would be lying to myself and wanting to fool myself

Because I still love you

I'm desperate

How do I forget you

And go back to being happy

Because I still love you

I'm abandoned

I'd give everything to kiss you again

And wake up by your side

Because I still love you

Verse 2

Every day I drown more in the sea of this memory

There's no time or distance that can erase you from my heart

I live in the shadow of what I was with you

Without you in my life I feel lost

Come back to me 'cause I'm asking forgiveness

Because I still love you

I'm desperate

How do I forget you

And go back to being happy

Because I still love you

I'm abandoned

I'd give everything to kiss you again

And wake up by your side

Because I still love you

I'm abandoned

I'd give everything to kiss you again

And wake up by your side

Because I still love you

I'd be lying if I said life goes on the same without you

SONG MEANING

Porque Ainda Te Amo is a raw confession of heartbreak in which Mickael Carreira admits he is nowhere near over a past love. From the very first line he owns up to the lie we all tell after a breakup: that life moves on just fine. Each verse stacks proof of his lingering feelings — the stab of seeing her with someone new, sleepless nights replaying memories, and the way time and distance fail to erase her from his heart.

By the chorus, desperation takes center stage. He pleads for a way to forget yet secretly longs for exactly the opposite: one more kiss, one more morning together. The song lives in that bittersweet space where sorrow and hope collide, making it a relatable anthem for anyone who has ever tried (and failed) to let go of a great love.
